Make every movement Count in 2026

Jan 6, 2026 | Healthy Tip

Dear Friends,
 
The New Year is here. And you all have an opportunity to start a new. You don’t need to be perfect. Yet you can aim to make an effort to make every movement count in 2026.
 
Stop. Think. Move.
 
There are so many opportunities to move throughout your day. Your movements are cumulative.
 
Count your steps. The aim is more than 5000 steps per day.
 
Count your workout time. The aim is at least 30 minutes (cumulative) throughout your day.
 
Count your heart rate. A workout intensity is about 40-60% of your maximal heart rate.
 
Count your breaths. A moderate workout intensity is when you can talk and move through any activity.
 
This year you have an opportunity to regain your strength, your confidence and your health.
 
Too often the focus is on illness and disease. It’s time to focus on renewal, health and wellness.
 
Start your new year ~ AHNew!
Best health always,
Ann
 

Join us in May!

How to Live to be 103 – A guide to living a healthy life

Sep 1, 2025 | Healthy Tip

To get your copy – email Ann today: ahnewpt@gmail.com 

Summary of ebook. We all would like to live a healthy, happy life – right? Well to accomplish our goal we need to work at it everyday. From sleep, to nutrition, to physical activity, our bodies depend upon us to take good care every step of the way. 

Moreover, our bodies are like our cars only far more complex. The engine or internal workings of our body is the vital organs e.g. heart, lungs, lymphatic system. The mind body connection is clearly much different than a car or truck. The mind body connection allows us to adapt along the way – in the very moment. To make decisions. To make judgments about what is best for us. 

Take a moment and ask for your copy today. Best health always,

Ann

Healing Lifestyle in the New Year: 2025

Jan 7, 2025 | Healthy Tip

Happy New Year!

AHNew beginning for your body and mind!

As you move quickly into the New Year, it’s important to stay healthy. Healing strategies can play an important role in your successful journey. You may have an injury, or surgery, whether minor or major, but you can heal to various degrees depending on the extent of the episode.

What are some healing strategies?

Get plenty of rest and sleep. Listen to your body. She/he is talking to you. Find a balance between rest and physical activity.

Sleep hygiene

Stick to your bedtime routine. Allow 7-9 hours of sleep.

Be mindful of what you eat and drink.

Avoid excessive caffeine, alcohol and overeating later in the day.

Keep naps short.

Spend some time outdoors.

Engage in physical activity everyday.

Create a bedtime ritual.

Practice gratitude

Practice gratitude. Finding the “goodness” around you. You not only will feel the benefits but also those around you will.

Gratitude rewires and fires new connections in your brain.

Gratitude fosters cognitive restructuring for more positive thoughts.

Gratitude reduces fear and anxiety.

Gratitude enhances dopamine and serotonin for happiness.

 

Macronutrients

Take in good macronutrients. Find a balance between Carbs, protein and fats for your weight and activity levels.

Avoid sugar and empty calories (chips, etc.) – avoiding sugar may be difficult especially during the holidays. Replace these food sources with quality veggies and fruits.

Macronutrients re a balance of protein, carbohydrates and fats in your nutrition plan to help you function more optimally.

Macronutrients give your body energy to work properly.

The suggested breakdown is:

·       45% to 65% of calories from carbohydrates.

·       20% to 35% of calories from fat.

·       10% to 35% of calories from protein.

In contrast micronutrients are vitamins and minerals found in fruits and veggies.

Both Macro and Micro Nutrients are important for your health and healing. Begin your healing journey today!

I am thankful for each and everyone of you. Wishing you a healing and healthy New Year. Contact us today for a Discovery Visit.
